Look Carefully at Used Car's Replaced Parts The difficult; In obtaining replacement parts for cars cannot always be blamed upon the manufacturer or the dealer. There are many things that can happen to make it difficult for the car owner to obtain the exact replacement part for his car and very often his failure to get exactly what he wants Is the result of tfome previous work on the car of which be has no knowledge or about which perhaps he has forgotten. A case in point was where the owner of a second-hand automobile was In need of a new axle. The car was • 1925 model and it was natural that be should ask for a 1925 axle and accompanying parts. A 1925 axle, however, would not quite fill the bill and he was poszled. Investigation revealed that the first owner of the car had had an accident with it and had replaced the broken part with a 1924 axle, not being able to obtain the parts for his particular year. ft frequently happens that in a pinch a motorist will buy parts which belong to some other make of car. All this creates difficulty for the second owner of the car when the need for a second replacement arises. A suggestion to buyers of used can Is that they endeavor to find out from former owners whether any such repairs have been made and, If so, whether the exact parts a| fcfee particular model were Installed CHAINS MAY MAKE OR BREAK TIRES Hints for Motorists to Bear in Mind Include Advice to Avoid High Speed. Chains take a great deal of punishment, during a winter's usage, but they return a proportionate amotot. to the car. On a 80 by 4.40 tire, It baa been pointed out, a cross link hits the pavement 600 times in a mile. When the car bar gone 100 miles, each cross link has come into contact with hard pavement or ice 66.000 times, writes Israel Klein, In the Rocky Mountain News. Add to this the strains of braking starting and palling, and Utfle more may be expected of them. In return for this hard usage, the chains take their revenge out of the tires, force the engine to work harder and can rip holes In the fenders. That Is, of course, if the drivet Is careless about them. Put Chains on Right. Proper attachment of chains and careful driving will afford the most possible benefit out of the chains and the least possible harm to tires, en gine or other parts of the car. In the first place, the chains should be put on right They must be loose enough to allow them to work their way around the tires. If tbey are tight they will stay In one position, cutting into the casings and causing tire trouble. A little play will cwms evea wear on the tires all around. The chains, however, must not be too loose, or they'll rattle against the fenders when the car goes at any considerable speed and break easily. Furthermore, constant tapping of a chain on the same spot of the fender will eventually wear a neat bole there. Proper Air In Tires. In the case of the new type of rubber links, on the contrary, the chains must be applied as tight as possible The tires should be blown to their requisite pressures and then the chains may be applied tightly. The reason for this is that rubber chains are fiat and smooth, and therefore do not need to have free play around the tires. In fact, if applied loosely, they are liable to break easily. Applied tightly, rubber chains will help lengthen the life of the tires. These may be kept on at all times, no matter what the weather, for they are no bother either In driving or la the way of comfort Carbon Deposits Can--d by Poor Grade of Oil Carbon deposits in the cylinders may be caused by excessive use of oil or an Inferior grade of oil. The most common cause of too rich a fuel mixture due to running with the choke open for too long a time. The formation of the carbon deposit can be delayed by occasionally pouring a little kerosene Into the cylinder while hot and allowing the engine to stand without running for some time. When It Is started the softened carbon will be carried out by the exhaust. Whenever necessary the carbon should be removed by scraping. This is done by removing the cylinder head and using a scraper on the heads and the internal surface of the combustion chamber. Paris Now Considering New Code for Traffic A new set of traffic rules is to be formed to regulate traffic in Paris, France. The possibility of restricting the use of motor horns is being considered. Drivers habitually use their horns to excess; for Instance, it is not uncommon for a whole row of drivers who are being held up by a policeman for what they consider an unreasonable time to blow their horns steadily in unison by way of protest. The question of Inadequate lighting on vehicles is also being considered. One may still ree in Paris a youth on a motorcycle carrying a Japanese lantern in his mouth, or a motor car lighted by a couple of paper lanterns, apparently with, the consent of the police.

Such automobile trunks are being wed by the tourists of Europe. Sparks From Lindbergh's Engine Are Miles Long Statisticians may well bow to H. Rabezzana, research engineer, who has gone to the trouble of telling us the amount of flashes delivered by the •park plugs in Colonel Lindbergh's plane during his great flights to Paris, to Mexico City and throughout the United States. Rabezxana says the plugs In the Spirit of St Louis during these 84,905 miles delivered a total number of sparks equal to an unbroken flash of light 91 miles in length. A set of 18 spark plugs Is required In airplane engines of the Spirit of St Louis type, it was explained. Rabezzana says automobile speedway runs are severe tests for engine parts, but tbey cannot compare with the terrifl^ strain endured in transoceanic and other nonstop flights. Even the slightest defect in any one insulator, electrode or assembly would spell the difference between success and disaster, he added. Auto Is Now Viewed as Big Traffic Menace "Save fifth avenue from the automobile." That is the cry along New York's two-billlon-dollar fashion emporium as jnechants grow fearful that Increasing automobile traffic may crowd them out of business. The shopkeepers plead that unless a remedy is quickly found for the growing traffic congestion in mid- Manhattan, business is almost sure to move northward away from Fifth svenue. And their suggested remedy for the salvation of their street Is the immedlte construction of a vehicular tube under the East river. That would direct traffic through the center of the city without interfering with the comfort of Fifth avenue Shoppers, die iperchants claim. - Pmdigrted Curio* flilnsse collectors do not rppredate a curio tmfess it has its pedigree, com- BMnts Vanity Fair.

While helping to load ice the hook caught in his foot, making an ugly and painful wound. Quite a number have been injured at this place in the same manner. J. C. Clemens had the misfortune to bruise his hand in a very severe manner while loading lumber at Smith & Snyder's yard on Friday last.
